Joe Biden’s Tampa Raid Coincides Perfectly with GOP Convention Theme

I’m a little hesitant to write this because I don’t want the Democrats to reconsider their fabulous GOP convention plans. First reported by Drudge and later confirmed by The Hill, the Democrats plan to send Vice President Joe Biden to Tampa to rally outside the Republican National Convention. It’s an unprecedented move, and strange for the high level of the person involved. The DNC is going to deploy the Vice President of the United States as some sort of sideshow act to heckle the Republican nominee. It’s difficult to imagine any previous veep taking on that role. But this is Joe Biden we’re talking about.

Biden will be in Tampa for the first day of the GOP convention, Monday.

Republican officials have said that their first day of the convention will be themed around the idea “we can do better” than President Obama’s administration, and will feature speeches from Ann Romney, South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio).

What better way to prove Republicans can “do better” than to just point to the heckling, bumbling idiot outside, and then highlight Rep. Paul Ryan, the intelligent, cerebral man who would replace him?

In other news, the Dems are looking to present Sandra whats-her-name as a speaker at their convention.

What a startling contrast between the parties; one presents an angry hag with no discretion below the belt while the other has women with self-respect, confidence, beauty and accomplishment. Bring on that War On Women, boyz!

The one thing that gets me, that is ignored (especially by my Progressive friends) about Fluke is she was originally billed as a common, non-partisan average person* just looking for help who was looking to voice her concerns (as is her right) and got attacked by those mean Republicans. Only later we learned she’s part of a manufactured outrage who has always been a political animal and was chosen to be in the spotlight. Having her speak at the convention should cement the fact she was never “average”.

*the fact she was a 30 year old at Georgetown Law should have tipped anyone off. You’ll never find the doe-eyed, just-honest-workin-folk there. Everyone there is there for a reason: to be in politics and have a prestige diploma.

They look like the good guys, who aren’t afraid to give the other side a say. And it puts Joe in a no-win situation. If he turns them down, he looks like he’s afraid. If he takes them up on it, now he’s giving a high-profile speech that he hasn’t prepared for to a hostile crowd. No way that turns out well.

Please Joe, come on down!
It will be 95 degrees, and 95% humidity, and he can surround himself with the protestors who will be camping out. The protestors are already here, and with the daily rains we’ve been having, they should be just about “ripe” by Monday.
